You decide - is the quartz crystal he's gripping a sword? a divining rod for locating treasure? a piece of rock candy soon to be blissfully munched? This dragon focal bead is one of my all time favorites - the color is a wonderful earthy purple blend and all the natural pearls really add to the look (the little ones are tiny, tiny! natural colored seed pearls - very delicious). He also sports a large faceted amethyst set in sterling silver. Hole for stringing is hidden horizontally through the wings. He's about 3 inches wide, so not a petite fellow - he'll definitely stand out.
